Israel's closest ally US demands PM Netanyahu repudiate a call by his hardline minister Bezalel Smotrich for Huwara, a village in Palestine, to be erased
Israeli far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich's remarks that"Huwara needs to be erased" are repugnant and disgusting, says State Department spokesperson Ned Price.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's call for a village in Palestine to be "erased" amounted to incitement to violence and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must publicly disavow it, the US State Department has said. Asked about a weekend rampage by illegal settlers through the Palestinian village of Huwara, which an Israeli general on Tuesday described as a "pogrom," Smotrich said: "I think that Huwara needs to be erased".
State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters that Smotrich's comments "were irresponsible. They were repugnant. They were disgusting."
